Independent EM bioremediation, MA phytoremediation and symbiotic MA-EM bioremediation mode for the removal of ammonia and phosphorus were elucidated successfully in this
study. Inoculation of EM-1 in the MA phytoremediation enhance the symbiotic MA-EM culture condition in term of dissolved oxygen and pH regulation. Higher removal rates were observed in
various inoculation of MA in the symbiotic MA-EM bioremediation with the addition of EM. In addition, the release of phosphorus due to the degradation of bioremediators at the end of treatment period
was suspended within the symbiotic bioremediation mode. Symbiotic MA-EM bioremediation however were insignificant as compared to MA phytoremediation mode in term of the
ammonia removal curve and reduction rate.
